I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative?


The curved cage on Primaluna amplifiers is extremely ugly. Their shiny cases do not help. Visually, they are worse than forgettable. I like the look of Line Magnetic amps, but they sound terrible. Is there a decent alternative?

One factor in buying an amplifier, besides the aesthetics, is the customer service and warranty. Beauty is often very subjective but quality service not so much. I had a failure of a transformer on my LM Audio 216ia after around 3 years. The dealer shipped it back to a US distributer for repair at no cost to me. So that told me Line Magnetic backs their gear. Many audio companies fail to back their warranty and make the buyer pay for parts and service, if they agree to fix a component at all. I have gone done that road with much regret....

Jonathan Halpern of Tone Imports is the US distributor for Line Magnetic - here's his email address - shindo.usa@mac.com - possibly he can satisfy your transformer questions .

I have found him responsive to emails
